8:05pm / 9:35pm: The Eye | Dir. Deanne Bray, USA, 2026 (Dur. 25min)
In this sly comic zinger from Director Deanne Bray and Executive Producer Troy Kotsur, a hearing Hollywood casting director is having no luck casting a Deaf role, whom she thinks are inexperienced. When an actor named Frank (played by John Maucere) walks in, however, the casting director gets more than she bargained for.

8:30pm / 10:00pm: Green Grass | Dir. Aram Atkinson, UK, 2025 (Dur. 17min)
Declan, a disengaged university coaster, must confront his long-hidden identity when forced to work with the fiercely independent new Deaf student, Claire. Opposite in so many ways, it is only a matter of time before their differences bubble to the surface, but so will their similarities that make them question everything they knew to be true in this coming-of-age drama.
